The policemen quietly folded their arms

ers did not number more than sixty per-

sticks. Two trees 10 front OF the platform

used their fats very effectively.

Col. Grasset!, smiled in most good na-

tives of American newspapers, who sur-
rounded Mr.. O'Brien on the platform
were plying their pencils vigorously. Pres.
emily the 0rangsmen byone supreme effort
were nearly gaining their point by dis.
placing the Natlonalists and reaching tho
front Of the platform, when the Americans
signalled to the Nationalists to keep their
places. This suggestion was entirely in
the, interest OF order, because if the Orange
men had reached that spot bloody time
would certainly have ensued. This SO
